Descriptor English:

Atypical Squamous Cells of the Cervix

Descriptor Spanish:

Células Escamosas Atípicas del Cuello del Útero

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	células escamosas atípicas del cérvix
Entry term(s)	células escamosas atípicas células escamosas atípicas del cuello uterino células escamosas atípicas del cérvix uterino
Scope note:	Anomalías morfológicas del EPITELIO cervical, generalmente detectadas mediante la PRUEBA DE PAPANICOLAOU, que no cumplen los criterios de una NEOPLASIA INTRAEPITELIAL CERVICAL escamosa ni de un CARCINOMA DE CÉLULAS ESCAMOSAS del CUELLO DEL ÚTERO. Pueden ser un signo de infección por ciertos tipos de papilomavirus humano (PVH) o de una proliferación benigna (no cancerosa), como un quiste o un pólipo o, en mujeres menopaúsicas, signo de una baja concentración hormonal. Su detección puede conllevar la necesidad de realizar más pruebas, como la del PVH.

Scope note:

Morphological abnormalities of the cervical EPITHELIUM, usually revealed in PAP SMEAR, which do not meet the criteria for squamous CERVICAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA or SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMAS of the CERVIX . It may be a sign of infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).or sign of a benign (not cancer) growth, such as a cyst or polyp or, in menopausal women, of low hormone levels. More testing, such as HPV test, may be needed.
